Les Genièvres is considered one of the best vineyards in Lugny and gives this wine more concentration than one often expects within Mâcon-Lugny. Thanks to the calcareous clay soil, 30-year-old vines, and maturation in stainless steel, this Chardonnay acquires its recognizable combination of floral aroma, round structure, and fresh length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"542\" data-end=\"565\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"567\" data-end=\"678\"\u003eMâcon-Lugny is located in the south of Burgundy, in the Mâconnais, where Chardonnay is the most important white grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"680\" data=\"896\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"682\" data-end=\"705\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lugny is situated high in the southern part of the Mâconnais.
